FILM FORUM CORONADO: "The 39 Steps"

Coronado Public Library, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival, presents FILM FORUM CORONADO, taking place the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the library's Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story.

December 18: The 39 Steps (1935, Approved, 86 min)

Full of twists and turns, Hitchcock’s juicy, heart-racing film follows Richard Hannay (Robert Donat) as he stumbles upon a conspiracy that thrusts him into a hectic chase across the Scottish mores and into an unexpected romance with the cool Madeline Carroll.
